cracked cylinder

[bobsledder]

Got a sled with a bad cylinder. Low kms on it. Is it ok to replace with new piston and rings and leave the other side alone?

Yes.

Good to know. That is what the warranty covered.

You will be fine Bert.

Not mine Ken. Friend I towed out a month ago. He asked me if I thought they should do both sides and I said no so thought I should ask the pros on here lol.

Like I explained to him, on natural gas engines with pistons bigger than his sled we only fix whats broken so that should be ok on his little kitty cat. Think his dealer is a good one. Maybe now he will listen when I tell him to warm it up. He roles off the truck and boggies to get to snow before it overheats cause no rear cooler he always has problems. It put him over the bars when it locked. He ran it a year and a half before it wouldn't run anymore

don't know. He may have cold seized it when it was new. Locked up on trail a km or so from truck. It started again and then he rode it for another 2500km. A dealer fixed it on warranty.
